Warlord Games Previews Test of Honour Samurai Miniatures Game

Warlord Games has many fine games on the market. If you’re a fan of ancient historicals, there’s Hail Caesar. If you like a more Napoleonic feel, there’s Black Powder. You’ve got Pike & Shotte in there. Of course, you can’t forget WWII in Bolt Action. Though most of that has a rather Western-civilization angle on it. How about those with Eastern-civ in mind? Well, for you, there’s Test of Honour.

From the preview:

The Emperor is weak, challenged by the might of the Shogun.

The Clan lords align themselves with one side or the other, taking advantage of the turmoil to settle old grudges and seize new territory.

Their loyal samurai, consummate warriors trained in the art of the blade, must do their bidding without question.

Test of Honour is a skirmish wargame played with roughly 5-20 models on each side. Players select their force before each game based around a samurai hero along with one or two loyal samurai companions and a variety of clan soldiers.
